Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded today (Sunday) to the letter of the families of the fallen who called not to stop the fighting until the goals of the war and victory are achieved after he read the letter at the beginning of the cabinet meeting. In his words, he pledged to continue fighting until all goals are achieved.
"The government will receive a security review today, and before that, I want to read you a letter I received this morning from dozens of families of our fallen heroes," Netanyahu said. "They write: 'The people are strong and their spirit is steadfast. The citizens and the heroic soldiers are determined to achieve complete victory. You have a mandate to fight, you do not have a mandate to stop in the middle. This is the will of the fallen and this is our duty for life.'"
"I would like to reply to the dear families: the will of the fallen is what guides us. We will fight to the end" he pledged. "We will achieve all our goals - the elimination of Hamas, the release of all our abductees, and the promise that Gaza will not once again become a center of terrorism and incitement against the State of Israel and attacks against the State of Israel. We will continue to fight to the end for the sake of the fallen and the assurance of our lives here in the Land of Israel."
